Plastic consumer goods are seeing a steady increase in the use of multi-component, co-injection, and structural foam processes. More and more, traditional materials (such as wood, glass and metal) are being replaced by high quality plastics. In consumer goods there is a trend toward the manufacture of movable parts using incompatible materials. Time-consuming installation and assembly tasks are avoided, allowing manufacturers to realize dramatic reductions in part costs. Milacron products offer manufacturers tremendous flexibility and the means to cut costs while boosting productivity.
